blackhawkrush Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Notice Juventus beat Barcelona 3-0. I can't see them capitulating in the second leg like PSG did.The explosives went off in the wrong city, as far as Barcelona is concerned. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Stoke 3-1 Hull Good job our home form is good. Swansea also lost, so once again the situation remains the same for next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Jagielonia 0 Cracovia 0 Great job by Sandomierski to keep the league leaders off the score sheet. The boys have moved up to 12th spot in the standings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Notice Juventus beat Barcelona 3-0. I can't see them capitulating in the second leg like PSG did. That's what I hope with even feet fingers crossed! It's not going to be easy at Camp Nou anyway and we have to play the second leg as we played the first one. In the meantime we're back leading Italian League with +8 with only 6 games left and we have qualified for Italian Cup final.Wildest dreams are surfacing but I perfectly know that we haven't won anything yet ; proud of this tough team anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Wisla 1 Zaglebie 0 Scoreless first half. Then Cywka with a cross even Grosicki would be proud of, right to the head of Stilic who hits the crossbar and Malecki finishes the job with a powerful strike. Can this team, who after eight matches was in last place say 'Europe?' :madra: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkrush Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Atletico and Real Madrid through to the champions league semi finals after beating Leicester and Bayern Munich respectivelyLewandowski and teammates are very upset with the Hungarian referee. Ronaldo was definitely offside when scoring his second goal. The yellow card for Vidal, which resulted in red was suspect. Also, with the way Casemiro was knocking people down, he could've been booked quite a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucey Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 But more importantly... Hull 2-0 Watford Crucial victory given that Swansea also won, and it was also impressive, as we were down to ten men for most of it. Grosicki got a sort of half assist for the first, but Markovic hit the bar and then scored with the rebound, so it won't count as one. Marco Silva's remarkable home record continues!

Brucey Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 One thing I've noticed about Grosicki is that his end product is much better when he finds himself on the right using his stronger foot. On the left, he can beat his man all day, but he'll waste the opportunity with his left foot, or cut inside and look too desperate to open his account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dangerous. Of course he moves around during the game, but Blaszczykowski usually takes the right side, therefore Kamil doesn't really have too much of a chance to show his skills at that part of the pitch. Take a look at the highlights of the Romania-Poland (0-3) qualifier. His opening goal is simply brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing glimpses of it, just think when he scores, he'll get a confidence boost and we'll see it consistently. But it is nice to have him and Markovic in the team, some actual pace, can get up the pitch quickly, have an actual counter attacking threat...I'm not used to it! I've been used to watching defence first, slow and side to side eventually hoof it football, Silva has brought in a different dynamic, it's exciting to watch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made for the counter-attacking style of play, as is the entire Polish team since the 1970s. Perfect examples are the two World Cup qualifying matches between England and Poland in 1973, when Lubanski did his thing in the first game in Poland, and Domarski scored that huge goal at Wembley. In short, Silva must've realized that opening up against the top teams in the Premier League is futile, so he needed some fast players who can sting the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And against the similar sized "smaller" teams, we can really really rip them to bits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkrush Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Here are the standings of the best teams after the first 30 games played in the Polish Ekstraklasa. The top eight will fight it out for the championship, while the leftovers must try to stave off relegation. The numbers indicate points won and, in parenthesis, those awarded after the correction. 1) Jagiellonia 59 (30), 2) Legia 58 (29), 3) Lech 55 (28), 4) Lechia 53 (27), 5) Wisla 44 (22), 6) Pogon 42 (21), 7) Termalica 42 (21), 8) Korona 39 (20). As you can see, this favors Wisla a bit, but have you ever seen anything more crazy than this, Brucey? Thankfully, this system is to be abandoned next season.

pjbear05 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Chelsea 4-2 Spurs in the FA Cup semi finalArsenal 2-1 Man City in ET in the other semi. Should be a hell of a final. The Blues win like they've doing in the League, or the Gunners win and probably save Wenger's job. Edited April 23, 2017 by pjbear05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
